Rev. Flexon spoke of his appreciation of the New York District in regard to our standards and our missionary zeal. He read from Rev. 2:1-5 and addressed the Conference on the subject "What backslides a Church!" Rev. Flexon stated his conviction that we as a Pilgrim Holiness Church were facing a crisis. The following were mentioned as disastrous to the work of the Church: professional ministry, a ministry that seeks its own, the inactivity of our laymen, the lack of an issue, a double standard inside the Church, the wrong conception of what constitutes success in the Church, and majoring on church membership.
The secretary called the roll.

1n Jcmortam "Whereas our kind heavenly Father has seen fit to remove from
our midst a beloved brother and fellow-minister, we bow our heads in humble submission to His will.
Rev. S. N. Bennett, born Feb. 7, 1862, departed this life Sept. 9, 1944. Rev. A. E Blann, assisted by Rev. A. H. Wilson, and other ministerial brethren conducted the funeral at the Binghamton Pilgrim Holiness Church.
Bro. Bennett was converted early in life and joined the Free Methodist Church. Later he became connected with the Pentecostal Rescue Missio at one time serving as its presiding elder. When the Pentecostal Rescue Mission merged with the Pilgrim Holiness Church, he became a leading minister maintaining an active interest in local church and district affairs until called by death. He was an interesting conversationalist and when unable to attend church, he was often visited by his ministerial brethren who sought his fellowship and godly counsel. Besides being an ordained gospel minister, he was also a poet and song writer. His absence from our midst will be keenly felt, but we are sure our loss is heaven's gain.
TAKE THE WORLD BUT GIVE ME JESUS
By Rev. S. N. Bennett
Take the world but give me Jesus, All earth's glitter and its show Are but fading empty bubbles Which no blessing can bestow.
Take the world but give me Jesus Though the storm is raging wild, With my hand in His, I'll conquer, He'll sustain His trusting child.
Take the world but give me Jesus When I'm weary, seeking rest, Give me not earth's ease or splendor But my head uppon His breast.
Take the world but give me Jesus, When earth's friends forsake, deride, I shall find the sweetest comfort Looking at the Crucified.
Take the world but give me Jesus As I near death's portals glide, He will bear me over Jordan, Land me safely o'er the tide.
Take the world but give me Jesus For when this earth shall fade away Then forever I shall praise Him In the realm of endless day.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENT
To the New York District Conference of the Pilgrim Holiness Church:
In the good providence of God we have come to another Annual Con-' ference of the New York District of the Pilgrim Holiness Church. The pro-gress made in the past 12 months has not been all we might desire, but we are grateful to God for all the blessings He has given. We trust that the battles fought and the victories won shall have fitted and encouraged us all to press forward with renewed zeal and increased faith to see greater things done for God and souls in the days to come.
Financially we have had another good year. Mortga.ges have been burned at the following places; Amsterdam, Ravena, Lake Placid, Haverhifl, Mass., and Russell. In each of several other places substantial reduction has been made in indebtedness of long standing. There have been increases in pastoral support on some of our charges. Some Churches have made ex- terisive and needed repairs and improvements. A new church building has been dedicated at Green Grove, Pa. The congregation worshipping there was formerly known as the Nicholson Church. Two churches have been or- ganized during the year—one at Oxford, the other at Cherry Valley.
Instead of a decrease in our membership there has been some increase for which we thank God and our faithful brethren in the ministry.
Ii several places there has been increased interest in - the Sunday School. The church at Albany has purchased a large bus which has been in operation several weeks and already has resulted in a substantial in-crease in Sunday School attendance. Three other churches in the District are using buses to further the work of the Sunday School. In other places passenger cars are pressed into service to gather in the children. When gasoline restrictions are eased, we should do more along this line. Sunday School work pays good dividends.
Qur revivals have not resulted in the ingathering of souls to the ex-tent we had hoped, but there have been some gracious victories and some have found God.
The Camp meetings in the District are serving a good purpose. Like the feasts of ancient Israel they bring God's people together for times of refreshing from the presence of the Lord. Souls find God in pardon and cleansing and the saints have the blessed privilege of fellowshipping one with the other which results in mutual uplift. Let us continue to support our Camps by our prayers, presence, and sacrifice. Only eternity will reveal the good done.
We are not satisfied with our plans or accomplishment regarding Home Missjons in the District work. Very little has been done along this line in the past 12 fonths. It is not enough to simply hold a meeting in a new place. To open up and establish a new work it is necessary to follow up a meeting with a permanent program. It is necessary to have someone stay on the job until, through sacrifice, prayer, and a lot of hard work, as suf-ficient number of souls have been won to God to form a nucleus around which a permanent organization may be built. We lack seasoned, corn-petent workers who have vision and the call of God upon them to go f or-warcin this endeavor. Let us make this matter a subject of earnest prayer, for we need to enlarge our borders as well as to strengthen that which we have.
With few exceptions our Churches have met the budget requirements. There have been some failures along this line and I feel led to offer a few suggestions. Let each pastor with his Church Board estimate at the begin-
20
fling of the Conference year the amount required to care for the budget. Then, work out a plan which will best win the approval of the local congre-gation and proceed to gather in the amount needed monthly. It is not fair to the congregation nor to the District Treasurer to put off the raising of the budget until several months' quota is due.
Last Conference we adopted a system of supporting our Zone School —the Allentown Bible Institute. The plan was to continue five years. The amount agreed upon was the equivalent of 25c a month per member. Most of our Churches have met their quota. Some have thought the amount asked too much. If we really grasp the importance of the work being done, I think we would be more inclined to come to the conclusion that we are do-ing too little. All holiness denominations have their schools. Many rank ahead of ours in equipment and advantage. Unless we see to it that our young people have a good school with proper equipment along all necessary lines, I fear we stand to lose many of our promising young people to other better-equipped schools. If we fail to give our boys and girls the proper Chris1ian education and training, where shall we obtain the future leaders of our Church? My earnest exhortation to each pastor is: get this matter on your heart, properly estimate its value, and endeavor to place it before your people so that they will feel about it as you do; then the 25c per month will seem small in comparison with the importance of the work to be accomplished. Some of us who live outside city limits pay four times as much to have our garbage disposed of as we are are asked to give in support of our School.
Qur Ministerial Convention last April was much enjoyed by those who attended the gathering. There was one thing to be regretted. Some of our brethren were absent. This leads me to offer another suggestion. Since the time for Camps and Conventions is set well in advance, our pastors should not plan revivals or other meetings or work which conflicts with those dates. Let iis plan well ahead to be present at our District gatherings. We need each other's fellowship and are the better for coming to mingle our voices together in prayer and praise and to have our hearts warmed and encour-aged by those who minister to us in the Lord. We need each other and cannot be at our best apart from the bessings of Christian fellowship. We must not drift apart.
The churches have all been visited during the year, some more than the required two times. I have presided- at 24 annual meetings, been present at 14 Board meetings and traveled over 10,000 miles in the interest of the District. I have also preached 158 times, conducted two funerals, baptized several babies, and have managed to keep quite busy during the past 12 months. Further I desire to say that I have been treated with great kind-ness, paid more than I have been worth, and close the year praying to God to richly bless and prosper the work of the New York District of the Pilgrim Holiness Church.
Respectfully submitted,
A. E. BLANN

AUDITORS' REPORT
We have audited the records of the various departments of the District by methods and to the extent we deemed appropriate. We feel the following should be pointed out in respect to the departments audited.
Trustees' Report All trust funds have been deposited in one bank account making it hard
to. determine the income of each fund. We have analyzed this fund and sep-arated the amount applicable to each trust fund. We recommend that a separate savings account be set up for each individual trust fund.
Binghamton Camp Treasurer's Report This department owes the Middleown Trust fund $298.00 on a loan
made August 30, 1939. We recommend that this amount be transferred to the 1Iiddletown Trust fund immediately.
Vermontville Camp Treasurer's Report There is a difference of $11.45 in this department. Due to lack of time
we were not able to check out this difference so have included this difference in Repairs and Miscellaneous in the report for this department.
District Treasurer's Report Several of the churches have made errors in reporting their payments to
the District Treasurer. Each of the errors has been checked with the re-spective pastors nd proper adjustment has been made. $30.15 was paid for repairs to the Public Address System owned by Binghamton Camp. We recommend that this fund be reimbursed for this amount by Binghamton Camp. $5.00 was paid for a lawyer's fee for services in connection with satisfaction of Finch Hollow Contract. We recommend that the Finch Hollow Trust fund reimburse this fund for this amount.
Foreign Missionary Treasurer's Report $190.17 was sent to Rev. E. V. Hall as unspecified whereas it should
have been specified as follows: Tampamalon Church $100, Natiye worker in Mexico $10, and Tancanhuitz Church $80.17, These items are correctly re-ported in the Foreign Missionary Treasurer's Report and will be corrected with Rev. Halt this coming year.
We present the following reports which we believe subject to the above comments, fairly present the results of the financial operations of the Dis-trict for the twelve months period ended May 31, 1945:
